2023 Wrapped!

Earth to Humans ·

2023/12/13

As 2023 comes to a close, our Earth to Humans team took a look back at some of the episodes that were the most meaningful to us. We closed out our end-of-the-year roundtable conversation with a discussion about COP28. All of us agreed that just about everything that we’ve been hearing coming out of the COP thus far has been deeply disheartening - we struggled to find any kind of positive message. This is the balancing act that we play here on Earth to Humans on a regular basis - we yearn to tell

And in Gaza, the latest numbers of civilian casualties in just over a month are estimated to be over 13,000.

2023/11/15

There are lots of amazing stories about the early days of the Appalachian Trail, but none match the story of Grandma Gatewood. In 1955, Gatewood set out to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. She was 67 years old at the time. She began her hike in secret - she didn’t want her children to know what she was doing because she knew they’d try to stop her. But news of her trek traveled fast, and by the time she was a few months into her hike, she had become a national celebrity. When she finished her hike

Having moved to Scotland very recently, I’ve been really keen to get started on telling some stories from this amazing country. As some of you who are keen listeners to the podcast will already know, I love a good bit of folklore, especially when it relates to landscapes and relationships with nature. So, it’s only natural that my first episode from here was with Folklore Scotland. It also just so happened to fall on Halloween and, seeing as the origins of the holiday are very much engrained in

Photographers Against Wildlife Crime

When I first met today’s guest I was a fresh-faced Conservation Biology undergraduate student with hopes and dreams of doing my bit to save the planet. Britta Jaschinski seemed like some kind of rock star to me. She spoke of going undercover at wildlife markets with cameras stashed in her handbag, using her photography to break apart wildlife crime rings and had strong morals she obviously lived by.

As a science communicator, I’m always on the lookout for people with innovative, creative and accessible ideas who say no to the classic dry and mundane or overwhelming and intense communications methods we scientists can be guilty of. Social media is a frequent outlet of the videos, graphics and written pieces that I create, and I follow many other activists and creative conservationists, who regularly fill me with inspiration, which I very much appreciate in a world where doom and gloom often

I was lucky enough to be brought onto the Hellbent team last year to create content for their online storytelling and, after watching the film for the first time, I was so excited to be part of such an incredible project. Having worked together for months, it was great to sit down with the film’s Co-Directors, Justin Grubb and Annie Roth, to ask them all the questions I’d been wanting to ask them for ages, as well as those I thought our listeners would enjoy hearing the answers to.This, now

Two of my greatest loves in life combined - dogs and biology. Apparently this is quite a common perception, but it takes a very special type of person, and an even more special type of dog to join this well-oiled team.Rogue Detection Teams is made up of field biologists, known as ‘bounders’, and rescue dogs, chosen for their supreme desire to fetch.

Today as I drive alone down highway 395 on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada along the length of California, I am reminded of a powerful film I had the privilege of seeing in the summer of 2021. It completely changed the way that I looked at this beautiful, harsh landscape and left me contemplating its messages even a year later. Filmmakers Ann Kaneko and Jin Yoo-Kim join producer Sarinah Simons for a deep dive into the empty lake-waters in Payahuunadü (Owens Valley) where Manzanar, the WWII
